In a really good band there is one good singer. Back up should be done by a choir. Presonally I don't you should have to sing.

Most guitar players DO sing. If not lead vocals, backup.
It's more important to sing and feel it than to sing and sound good.

I dont think you should have to sing but think about this. Maybe you think you suck but your band thinks you sing good.

It just dosen't look good for two people singing. If the whole group has a good voice why not everyone sing. It just don't sound right when one good voice is taken over by a voice that can't it a note, and there are a few band I heard that do that.

The Distillers=Kick ass= 1 Singer, Brody.
System of a Down=awesome=1 Singer, Serj.
Bad Religion=great=1 Singer, Greg.
So no, you shouldnt have to sing, 1 singer seems to pretty much do it for all the bands I like.

yeah, seconding the SoAD notion, their guitarist has a good voice..
just some thoughts...
Drummer's tend to make better back-up vocalists, due to their upright sitting position, and the fact that they look outward, not downward if they have to look at their instruments..
If you really have to do BuV, just try to stick to harmonizational notes, nothing big, just you cutting in every now and then for good measure, that kind of BuV can make a song something much more extraordinary.
and yeah, maybe you think you suck, but your band disagrees..
Either you have low confidence, or they are retarded.
just my two cents.
